Good question Marc. I'm searching for someone who knows how to

2. In the installer, use the RAID element to set up the disks as one

That will give you one md partition spanning the four disks.
I suspect that Gene is just going to configure LVM on a running system
and it is completely unrelated to UEFI (so it is purely off-topic) and
to the installer.
This, since I've not done this yet, is quit likely true.
The problem is that he can not use some search engine to find guides
related to LVM. He believes that everything must be documented in man
pages, but he ignores any tool that may help to find locally installed
man pages.
Sensible spelling of the utility's that do that would help that search
effort considerably. I note that I've rx'd detailed help assuming I am
using the installer, but no one has offered to teach me exactly what to
type into a bash shell on a system that is booted to a working cli. I
want to make a raid10 of nearly 8T out a 4 of these 4T drives. Do I
even need LVM for a raid10 out of 4, 4T drives?.
